I don't think you are going to find anything for less than about
$190(US) for the pinpoint controller.
If you are somewhat knowledgable in electronics you could build one
yourself. Because things happen slowly and we operate or aquariums in
a narrow temperature and pH range you can use fairly simple circuits.
You can find an example of a controller at

I'm currently building a controller and it will be about $40 plus $35
for the electrode.
